(A/N): Yo I be back so… Happy Thanksgiving!!!! Sorry 4 the wait… but you know you miss me!!! I had some writers block. Also…someone from another website sent me some very nasty hate mail…so my ego was a bit bruised.

Okay so if you didn't get the last chapter, it was just Yumi's thoughts during a song. She went outside for some fresh air, and XANA used that moment to attack her.

Is Yumi alive? Find out….

o.00.o

Run….run….RUN!!!!! Ulrich's subconscious screamed at him.

Adrenaline pumped through his veins as one foot fell in front of the other at an alarmingly fast rate. He didn't know why he was running…but damn it felt good! Run…run…run… Running was easy…he barley had to think about it, which left plenty of time to think about other things.

Like Yumi…

Yumi…the precious little flower that he had abandoned. Images of her floated through his mind, and remained caught in his web of thought. How could I leave her? He hardly noticed when he came to a large room of white. That is, until he caught sight of her.

"Yumi?!"

Yumi stood alone, rooted to the ground. Her eyes stared blankly ahead, and she gave no indication that she had heard him. "Yumi?" Ulrich called again, but he got the same results. All of a sudden, a shadowy figure appeared behind her, and slowly bent down to kiss her neck. The frozen girl's eyes widened in fear, but stayed locked on the empty space in front of her. Ulrich was about to charge at the figure, when the shadow man whipped something out from behind his back. With extreme care, he handed Yumi a small, white lily.

Suddenly, Yumi paled. Quickly, almost jerkily, she looked down at the lily, and whipped her head around until she was staring at Ulrich. Her mouth curved up into a small 'o' and a look of utter despair came over her lovely face. And then, her head nodded forward, and she sank slumped over to her knees, and became still. A loud laugh echoed through the empty room, and the shadow man disappeared.

"Yumi?" Ulrich's nervous voice called out. No response. "Yumi?!" No reaction whatsoever. Ulrich approached her slowly and carefully, and reach out a hand towards her. It felt like days before he could reach her. And then… his hand found her face, and lifted it up to his.

Ulrich screamed! A filmy cloud covered Yumi's unblinking eyes, and a trickle of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth. Her cold, unmoving hands were still grasping the lily…the flower of death.

"NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!"

Sunlight streamed through Ulrich Stern's blinds as he shook off his uneasy sleep. The dream…the all too real dream still lingered in his drowsy mind. It was then, right then that he decided, he would have to get to Yumi…soon.

Before it was too late.

(A/N): HAHAHAHAHA!!!! I am evil!!!! Reviews if you want more….I KNOW SOME OF YOU ARE HOLDING OUT ON ME!!!!

Oh well… All of my very fragile heart~ your little Moon_Fox
